Hello traveler!
We are currently planning next summer season and looking for workawayers who love nature, animals and good company. If that is the case then it might be your next place to stay! Take a look at our profile and if it sounds right for you, send us a message.
We offer payment for the hours worked and housing in our teepee village (We offer 7 € per hour.).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is some general information about us... we are a Natural HorseManShip Academy in the tradition of an American Ranch, in summer, we give courses and seminars about how to relate to horses in a natural way and host courses regarding conscious living and personal development.
We mainly need help with hospitality, keeping things clean and nice for our guests. If you don't mind dish washing and mopping floors, then this is a great opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy life in nature.
We do our best to produce our vegetables and we can always use a good hand in the garden. Handy Man's are always specially welcome.
Our season genereally run's between April and September. In the winter months we sometime could use some help on farm work and occasional proejcts.
We are located near the village of Pieve Santo Stefano in the Province of Arezzo, Tuscany, the place is also known as the Garden of St. Francis, with big oak trees and vast slopes and meadows.
What to expect ... being outside, being responsible at work and put in effort and positive attitude ... enjoy great company, pure nature, dogs, cats and horses, a relaxed atmosphere, transparency and honesty, a nice refreshing river to swim in close by and a perfect work-play balance.

Our place is a pure nature place and we like to keep it that way, there is no tv or radio, no news paper... but we have great food, once a week camp fires, sharing rounds and a lot of fun.
The horses are an important part of our ranch and we are teaching natural horsemanship and personal development courses during summer, so anybody interested can get in touch with this world. You are always free to watch the horse courses during time off.El anfitrión ofrece una paga acorde al salario mínimo

Please note that our helpers are mostly involved in hospitality, taking care of the facilites, our guests and the team, rather than helping out with the horses! Our herd lives on big meadows out in the open and are looked after by our apprentices or the students of our riding courses.
Our ranch is 20 minutes downhill and 35 uphill by foot from the village. In town you can pick a Bus an visit the nearby historical towns of Sansepolcro or Anghiari for example. If this sounds interesting to you and if you want to spend some time here with us get in touch!
PLEASE while contacting us use the word CAVALLO as subject so that we know you read the profile.
PS. we are a non smoking place and prefer non smokers, thanks for your understanding
